I just received a barely intelligible message from Greg Nappi. Some of the climbers would like us to pass along the following messages. I'm sorry that I still can not give any more information as to who summitted, because I am still not certain. So much for high tech satellite communication!
Here are the messages:
Jack Strickland: (admittedly plagiarizing Sir Edmund Hillary) "We knocked the bastard off!"
Baptista: "To the Apex Dental staff, friends and family, and Christine, we're doing well and coming downtoday."
Christian: "To Krista and Franz, we're OK and coming down!"

ReplyDeleteYAYYYYY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you! Now safely GET OFF THE MOUNTAIN and come home to TX! And never underestimate the power of prayer, Jack! See you on Saturday or whenever you float back to TX!
ReplyDeleteNevermind, I think that was burnt lama hair.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so proud of you. I never doubted you would get to the top. I'm just glad it was this year instead of the next, or the next. Now go get some mile-high pizza pie, or are you going to the Roadhouse for a cheeseburger first? Don't forget to order the "large" breakfast tomorrow morning. I love you. Carolyn
ReplyDeleteCarolyn Poroit: (admittedly plagiarizing Ma'am Edmund Hillary) "That's great, dear. I'm glad you knocked the bastard off. Now, get your a** home, so you can take out the trash, and clean out the garage."
ReplyDeleteFrom Mike Cochran: you dumb ass. I told you how dumb you were. Don't say anything really bad if you are going to be quoted. I'm not there to change it for you fix your quotes. You should have said ," we knocked the b.....off."

ReplyDeleteCheeseburger? More like pitcher of BEER at the West Rib Cafe & Pub!! Let's be reasonable though, you absolutely MUST stop celebrating when the sun goes completely down there... ohhhh wait... ;-)
ReplyDeleteJack - Congratulations! You're an inspiration to us tourists who just flight see around the great Denali. We told you we would look for your great accomplishment online (isn't the internet a wonderful thing?). Congrats again - we're so happy for you.

Congratulations, old man! I can't begin to imagine how amazing it felt to be standing at the top! Now stop this foolishness and act your age. Wait, I forgot to whom I was speaking. Wishing you a safe trip home!
